If your previous education was completed in India or Pakistan, individual mark sheets are required; consolidated transcripts are not acceptable.

A degree certificate must accompany transcripts* that do not clearly indicate:

Degree certificates must include the date of issue; the registrar’s signature, and post-secondary institution stamp or seal.

*You may have an interim transcript that does not yet indicate that a degree has been conferred and the date that degree was conferred.
